Not that advance for gifted children. Too many children that get dismissed from other schools go to this school. So much homework makes you wonder what they do in class???

We have been extremely disappointed in Randolph's administration. I would not recommend this school. For the price of this school, we definitely expected more and were very disappointed.

Be prepared to have 3-4 hours of homework a night. The teachers and the education are fantastic. The administration is not the best. Wealthier parents who donate to the school receive favortism in classroom and teacher choices. Some of the children are great, some of them are very spoiled.

I have 2 kids in high school at Randolph now and went there myself 'many' years ago. The school has always focused on academic excellence and it shows in the college admissions stats. In 2007 a new headmaster was hired to build on that tradition while establishing centers of excellence in Arts and Athletics.

Read more To support this, the School bought 50 acres nearby and is in the process of building a new $30 million High School facility with new fields, a modern gym and a state-of-the-art theatre space. The facilities are an indication of how serious the school is about bringing Arts and academics up to the level of academic achievement. They have a great time too; my kids are highly social and very connected to the community, unlike when I went to Randolph when it was much smaller. But that was, um, a few years ago! Read less

For the steep tuition the education level of the teachers at middle and high school level is disappointing. Few and far between are those with advanced degrees. Administrators lack administrative certification and advanced ed. as well. Most parents did not attend independant schools themselves, and

This prep school offers the best education in town! May not suit all students - students must tackle lots of homework and tests each week. The school demands excellence and will not tolerate any forms of transgression. Students learn at an accelerated rate, and must learn to budget their time wisely.
